The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 786 - 372: Be My Daddy! (Five More)

The little girl looked at Xiao Jinxing as he returned, glancing at him sideways, "You’re back."

Her familiar tone sounded as if they had known each other for a long time.

Xiao Jinxing responded with an acknowledgement.

Watching little Wu and the girl eating... chicken legs.

It was evidently what you might call a food delivery service.

The little girl was enjoying her food immensely. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Little Wu was also eating quite a lot.

Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of redness around little Wu’s eyes.

It was unclear if it was because the food was too awful, or too delicious.

As little Wu saw the Emperor return, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the taste of the chicken leg is very similar to..."

The taste was very similar to the one the Empress used to make back at the border.

After so many years, he thought he would never taste it again.

To his surprise, he found the familiar taste once more in Xuzhou.

The more he ate, the more he felt like crying.

"Do you want to eat?" the little girl asked Xiao Jinxing, offering him a chicken leg, "I specifically ordered a family bucket, fearing you’d come back to find us having eaten it all. You should try it quickly, it’s really delicious, look how he’s crying from it."

Xiao Jinxing glanced at the chicken leg.

He wasn’t actually hungry.

But he couldn’t resist the little girl’s enthusiasm and took it from her.

As he reached out, the little clay figurine in his hand came into the little girl’s view.

The girl glanced at it.

Just as Xiao Jinxing was about to give it to her.

"You’re such a grown-up, do you still like these little trinkets that even three-year-old children wouldn’t fancy?" the little girl asked him, blinking her lively big eyes.

Little Wu nearly spat out the chicken leg in his mouth.

It was clear that this was a gift the Emperor intended for the little girl.

How could the little girl be so heartless to hurt the Emperor’s feelings, doesn’t her conscience pain her?

Xiao Jinxing’s expression turned slightly awkward as he put the clay figurine away.

Then he didn’t eat the chicken leg either.

After all, the little girl was only four years old – she wouldn’t notice the complex emotions of the adults.

After she finished a chicken leg, she wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and then jumped down from the chair.

"Be careful," little Wu quickly supported her.

The little girl walked towards Xiao Jinxing.

Then she looked up at him.

"I’m leaving now," the little girl said sweetly, loudly.

"Do you need me to walk you back?"

"No need, I can find my way back," the girl said confidently.

It wasn’t that she was boasting.

This street belonged to her family.

She couldn’t get lost wherever she went.

"Then take care," Xiao Jinxing said coldly.

One could not tell at all the hint of... reluctance that surged within him.

"Kneel down; you’re too tall," the little girl suddenly demanded.

Xiao Jinxing frowned.

"I have a secret to tell you," the little girl said.

Xiao Jinxing knelt down.

Trying to be at the same height as the little girl.

The girl’s small body leaned close to Xiao Jinxing, and then suddenly, she gave a loud "mwah" as she kissed him hard on the face.

Xiao Jinxing was taken aback.

The girl giggled sweetly, laughing.

She said, "Thank you for saving me and for the tasty food."

Xiao Jinxing’s face seemed a bit flushed.

But his tone was unusually serious, "Girls should be modest and not kiss men so casually."

"But I’m a child," the little girl laughed even sweeter.

"Children shouldn’t do it either," Xiao Jinxing lectured.

"You look angry, just like my brother," the little girl wrinkled her nose.

"Don’t do this again in the future," Xiao Jinxing repeated.

"Why? I often kiss my brother like this," the little girl also seemed a bit upset.

"Brothers and other men are naturally different."

"What about daddy?"

"Daddy is naturally different from other men as well."

"Then pretend you’re my daddy," the girl suddenly declared with conviction.

"..."

Little Wu almost burst out laughing again.

Could she not make such shocking remarks?

His heart couldn’t take it.

"My mom is so pretty, really," the little girl said energetically, "If you marry her, you’ll get a cute daughter like me and a son! You’ll be making a huge gain!"

"..." He was simply at a loss for words.

"You don’t want to?" The little girl looked unhappy when he didn’t respond.

"I don’t want to." Xiao Jinxing answered plainly and coldly.

"Hmph, you’ll regret it once you meet my mom!" The little girl huffed and left with those parting words.

Those wanting to marry her mommy were lined up from South City to Northern City.

She had thought this handsome guy looked pretty good, seemingly rich too. Her mommy was greedy for money; she might actually like him. She had even thought about setting them up.

What a waste of her good intentions.

The little girl left.

Xiao Jinxing ordered in a cold voice, "Follow her, don’t let her get into any danger."

"Yes."

Little Wu hastily set down his drumstick and chased after her.

Xiao Jinxing rose from the ground.

The moment he stood up.

His leg obviously, trembled slightly.

His leg had been healed for five or six years now.

In the last two years, however, it had started to ache faintly again.

He thought.

This might well be, a punishment from heaven.

...

On the streets of Xuzhou.

Little Wu followed cautiously behind the little girl.

The little girl walked swaggeringly, bouncing and hopping along the way.

She turned into an alley.

Little Wu hurried to catch up.

But as soon as he rounded the corner.

What?

Where did she go?!

Little Wu looked all around.

It was just an alley with no other exits, how could she have vanished in the blink of an eye.

Was he seeing things?!

Little Wu quickly rushed forward.

The little girl crawled out from a hidden little hole, a smug expression on her face.

He thought of following her.

If she was so easy to follow, how would she ever manage to avoid her mommy’s spies and sneak out to play every day.

The little girl crawled out of the hole and then left in the direction she had come from.

When she got home.

The servants at home saw the young miss return and couldn’t help but cry.

"Where did you go, young miss? I was almost worried to death, if you didn’t come back, if you didn’t come back..." she said, her crying becoming even more pitiful.

Little Qin was 15 years old and had grown up with the young miss since she was little.

Ever since the young miss was 2, she knew how to climb walls and leave the house.

Any servant with a fainter heart would have been frightened to death hundreds of times by the young miss’s antics.

"Is my mommy at home?"

"The lady hasn’t come back yet." Little Qin hurriedly responded.

The little girl smiled triumphantly.

Getting home before her mommy did, perfect.

She swaggered into the house.

As soon as she entered.

She was struck by a wave of chill.

The little girl was still somewhat afraid of her brother.

Sometimes he was even scarier than her mommy.

Her mommy’s greatest punishment was making her dissect corpses at home; now she was so familiar with human anatomy that she could pinpoint each organ with her eyes closed. Plus, after seeing so many dead bodies, she wasn’t scared anymore.

But her brother, when he got angry, was truly terrifying.

"I got lost today," the little girl lied.

The little boy clearly didn’t believe her.

His gaze was icy cold.

"A very handsome guy saved me. He was so, so handsome..." The little girl suddenly fixed her eyes, exclaimed, "You look so alike! Just as handsome as each other!"

The little boy’s face grew even darker.

He was angry.

And his sister is telling him jokes?!

Handsome?!

If he was handsome, why would his Empress mother sigh every time she looked at his face!
